Phenomenal. In my 10 year update of A Brief History, I make the point that in the first edition, not one disease had been successfully treated using gene therapy. Today that number is at least 7.

Feel like we should bring back the old twitter follow friday to boost good people on here who maybe didn't get an initial boost from the starter packs.

So follow @psurridge.bsky.social and @profjanegreen.bsky.social - two excellent and thoughtful political scientists.

"The Great VAT Panic"

The claims made by the right-wing press about VAT on private school fees were wildly wrong.

Why? What are the lessons about about (how not to) run a lobbying campaign? And what can government learn?

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

The fact that even the maximum student loans don't cover living costs is grotesque. The fact that they're offered at high interest rates pretty much forever just compounds the insult. A society that will help everyone but the young - who it hates. www.northamptonchron.co.uk/community/no...

We have our problems but the doomerism is getting out of hand.

I look at the real picture on crime, migration, social cohesion and the economy - rather than the dsyoptian fantasies of the radical right.

Your usual reminder that GB News should clearly not be permitted to hold a broadcast license in the United Kingdom.
Is Lucy White's proposal to cut numbers of ethnic minority + Muslim MPs by banning people from becoming MPs unless parents/[ideally grandparents] were born in the UK" really now considered part of a "legit concerns about integration" debate by Restore Britain, Centre for Migration Control, GB News?
